Ingredients

• ½ cup honey
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• ¼ cup minced garlic
• 3 tablespoons onion powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder (Optional)
• 3 pounds ground moose

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Stir together the minced garlic, soy sauce, and honey together in a small saucepan. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer for 15 minutes, then set aside.

Step 3

While the sauce is simmering, roll the ground moose into meatballs in 2 tablespoon portions. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the meatballs in batches until well browned, and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes; drain well.

Step 4

Place the drained meatballs into a baking dish. Pour on the sauce, and stir until well coated. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes so the meatballs absorb some of the sauce.
